To open source, you first need to decide which open source license to use. There are many variations, but essentially most of them boil down to variants of either MPL or GPL.
You can create a project in SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net) - put your code there and its effectively open source. Not wanting to detract from your colleague's achievements, I wonder what is the use of the software? Doesn't Delphi automatically recompile all dependent packages for you? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Allan, Samuel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Multiple recipients of list delphi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2003 4:34 PM Subject: [DUG]: Automated build tool for packages A colleague at my work has written an automated builder which uses the command line compiler to compile packages. Given a root directory, it finds all the packages in subfolders. You can then choose the ones that you want to compile. It sorts out the dependencies between the packages and recompiles dependent packages as well. It compiles them in the right order, sorts out all the other complications (of which there are many). I thought that maybe there were people other than us who would find such a tool very useful. I also thought it would be nice kudos for him. I am approaching our boss to see if it could be released outside of us. We don't normally give / sell our software to other people. If released it would most likely be source code, no support, but works for us. Would anyone actually be interested? If a small sum of money was required (a possibility because someone in the chain of command will ask), would anyone pay it? If no money was required how would we go about making it open source? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body of "unsubscribe delphi" Web Archive at: http://www.mail-archive.com/delphi%40delphi.org.nz/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body of "unsubscribe delphi" Web Archive at: http://www.mail-archive.com/delphi%40delphi.org.nz/
